    was also considering using an IR dome instead, not sure if they'll do the job i need there; however the question i have is that i don't see any brand name that makes dome with LEDs, only china crap; and was wondering if this is really the case or if i just don't know where to search? and if someone knows the reason why it's not popular with brand names to see them with IR.

    thanks guys for the replies.

    @cctv_down_under I assume you talking about using the lens filter if i go the IR housing way correct?

     

    did you had any past experience with these devices? are they reliable and perform OK if i don't have the means for another IR device?

     

    thanks again.

    Hi all,

    I need to use a standard box cam but wish to have an IR for night vision.

    extreme cctv products are too pricey for the client and a bullet with IR built in will not do this time.

     

    (BTW does the bullet camera pass NEC inspection without proper tubing when installed outdoor?! I usually use standard box housing with liquid-tight and not sure if exposed wire passes or not... )

     

     

    So I was looking at using an enclosure with LEDs on it, like [edit by mod - store link removed] , but was wondering if I need to run extra wire for powering the LEDs? and how good are they?

     

    also after some quality time with google I see few IR lenses like [edit by mod - store link removed] but really not sure which way to go....

     

    can you guys please shade some light (IR ) on me?

    thanks in advance for any input.

    good day,

     

     

    searching on the forums here and on NVT site i'm wondering more and more if there is a reason why not to use UTP cable with balun instead of coax?

     

    also, do i need just 2 wires per camera? can a single cat5 cable transmit 4 cameras video?

     

    thanks!

    It's normal that windows only shows you *most* of your drive as available space.

     

    FYI very not healty for your windows drive to run low on space. get Acronis and play with partitions. it's always a good idea is to set separate partition for the GV recordings( you can leave the proggy installed in the path but to store the video elsewhere.)

     

     

    I think that your recording time is too low for 400 GB that you do have. should be way more than 3 days no?

    what res you have set? what compression? what card?

    sorry can't post link to info. I'll sure update links in couple days:

     

     

     

    I got 4 of INOX IX5600 dual CCD for a job to try them. distance between server to cams is ~400 ft. wired over Siamese 22AWG w/95% braid, 2X18AWG power.

     

    first it worked fine, then it started having black round corners on all the cameras, it looks just as if the shield is blocking the lens view.

     

    So i searched to see if i can find some info and found this page:

     

    bluecherry [DOT] net/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2

     

    pretty much it says that the cam is known to have problems with long distance wires. but I don't know how reliable that site is.

     

    I'll have to change them to box cameras and see if it's the same.

     

    Can someone share if they had any problems in situations like this?

    is this a know issue?

    Hi guys,

     

    new around here; please be nice

     

    can someone please help me with instructions on how to configure GV800 to send me email alerts with images?

     

    I have an smtp account working and test email works fine.

    I see "Email Setup" in multicast and get the test email from there but I don't see where/what triggers the alert to be sent. I have the cam set on motion-detect but no email is sent when something happened.

     

    can someone clarfiy for me what's this setting page is for exactly?

     

    I'm able to recieve alerts from CenterV2 but that include only what I put in the text box and not include a log message or a jpg.

    anyway to get snapshots in email via CenterV2?
